I believe one of the bravest thing a human being can ever do is forgive. Our flesh really fights against forgiveness and I think that is why people prefer to stay in anger and bitterness because we cannot imagine letting go of people that have hurt, abused & mistreated us, situations that have broken and dissapointed us.

Let me tell you, something happened to me this past week, I almost got robbed in a PSV by some people and the whole situation just shook me literally. I replayed the whole ordeal at work, my focus was low, I was anxious, I was even afraid to board another PSV.

I started to talk to God about it and while I began to firstly thank Him for getting me out of the situation safely, I remembered almost immediately a promise He had made to me about my peace and safety.

This was one of my doubt moments in God. God gives us a foretelling about some things in our lives and we believe Him in that moment. However, when we are tested we realize that there are still some residues of doubt and suspicion that lay deep inside because our lives have been through a lifetime of dissapointments.

I just sat down in silence and had no words, MY GOD KEPT HIS PROMISE TO ME despite my unbelief.

Let me be so real, I am going to strive to do all the things He asks me to do even if my flesh is burning in pride, egocentrism and anger. I believe this is how to win battles. I have tried fighting for my peace in so many carnal ways that always ended up in anger and tears.

But I am finding a way that works and no, it not only just works, it blesses me, it gives me more peace, it helps me give freely to others, it helps me understand that other people are also going through hardships, it gives me so much wisdom and the world stops revolving around me and I start asking, “what can I do for someone else? How can I be a blessing?” Yes I will suffer some temporary pain of the flesh but my goodness! WHAT I STAND TO GAIN!

How many times does God tell us not to be afraid? But the first instance we face opposition or we encounter obstacles our first move is to get fear in.

I believe that God knew that we would be fearful creatures and that is why He continuously and repeatedly told us not to be afraid, He is with us.

He already knows the outcome of events. He is the beginning and the end. He has already given us victory, we only need to stand strong and face our giants in confidence. Gideon reminds me so much of myself at times. This man was full of doubt, he repeatedly asked God for multiple confirmations when he was called to deliver the people of Israel from the hands of the Midianites and he still found favor with God.

Fear is a mental thing, when we know what God says about us and the plans He has for us, we gain confidence in Christ.

There are days I come upon a Bible verse and it just leaves me stunned, at a loss for words literally! The chosen men & women of God and the prophets in the Old Testament had so much faith that knew who they believed in. They did not waver or fear in their utterances of their love for God, they had immersed themselves wholly unto the will of God. I have come to learn that God upholds and rewards such attitudes. There’s one pastor I listen to who always says, “The Bible was written for our learning, so that we know that if God gave victory to His people in those days, He will surely do it for us.”

But if only we believe. Matthew 21:22 “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” (NIV)

I was reading the book of Daniel 3, the account of the four men in the furnace and I am still stunned at how Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego responded to the King. The kind of boldness where you know who you are in Christ, who God is in your life that nothing can shake or move you.

Daniel 3:13 “Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king,

Daniel 3:14and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up?

Daniel 3:15Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?

Now this is my highlight

Daniel 3:16Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter.

Daniel 3:17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and He will rescue us from your hand, O king.

Wait for it

Daniel 3:18But even if He does not, we want you toknow, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” (NIV)

I don’t know about any of you, but I am certainly going to work towards attaining this kind of faith, where I believe that even if He doesn’t save me from the fire, I will still remain faithful to Him.

Encourage yourself in the Lord your God before you set out to do all your tasks or undertake any projects. Do not expect that you will find encouragement from people or when you are in the middle of your project. Wake up […]

Encourage yourself in the Lord your God before you set out to do all your tasks or undertake any projects. Do not expect that you will find encouragement from people or when you are in the middle of your project. Wake up encouraged by God’s promises about your life, about your situation, about what He is currently doing in that present trial so that even when you face trying and difficult moments you remember WHO powers you up. Nehemiah 8:10 “… Don’t grieve for the joy of the Lord is your strength”

Above all believe God has your back at all times. Men will fail you but God will never fail you, you just have to trust in Him.
